Retail-ready grated cheese is a fast-growing market throughout Europe as
the need for convenience and variety continues to dominate.

As a result, cheese which might historically have been offered only in
block form must now be able to withstand intense shredding, product transfer
and packaging without clogging up machinery. Texture analysis helps dairies
evaluate the mechanical properties that will influence not only their product’s
mouthfeel, but also processability.
